Modern Backyard Escape
Outdoor Landscape Design in Atlanta, GA
This contemporary landscape project in North Druid Hills seamlessly blends bold modern design with thoughtful functionality, transforming a challenging site into a sophisticated and stylish outdoor space.
At the center of the design is a concrete panel and grass patio, which combines clean lines and natural textures for a striking visual contrast. A board-formed finished concrete fire pit serves as the sculptural focal point, providing a cozy gathering space for year-round enjoyment. Stucco veneer walls double as both retaining walls and planting beds, creating a layered design that addresses the site’s significant elevation changes while integrating greenery with the hardscape. Carefully selected linear plantings in the front yard emphasize the home’s modern aesthetic, designed to grow into lush, massed groupings over time.
To complete the front yard, a concrete panel walkway leads to the entry steps, tying the design together with a cohesive, geometric look. Privacy was a top priority for this urban space, achieved through strategic placement of walls, plantings, and structural elements.
This project demonstrates how thoughtful modern garden design can tackle practical challenges, such as managing elevation changes while delivering a sleek and inviting outdoor retreat in one of Atlanta’s most dynamic neighborhoods.
